Diving in Chile

The thrilling underwater sensation has led to the huge popularity of the water sport called diving. It is really a very famous sport in Chile due to its rich under water treasures. Diving is an activity that requires the right guidance in both theory and practice in order to acquire the necessary skills to dive safely. There are two kinds of sport diving: apnea (skin diving) and scuba (using a breathing device). The first is common in recreational diving and fishing; the second is preferred as a sport and for exploration and photography.

Chileans have a propensity to look outside their country when thinking about diving, towards Brazil or the Caribbean. However, there are places along the ceaseless Chilean coast which are very good for diving. From Puerto Montt in the South, up to Arica in the North, there are coastline measuring 3100 km but of course, the best zone extends from La Serena to Arica.

Chileans tend to look outside their country when thinking about diving, towards Brazil or the Caribbean. However, there are places along the interminable Chilean coast which are very good for diving. From Puerto Montt in the South, up to Arica in the North, we have a coastline that measures 3100 km (1,937 mi), but of course, the best zone extends from La Serena to Arica (city map) due to the temperature of its waters. Of all the beaches on the North Coast perhaps the best one is Caldera, due to its almost tropical microclimate. 

Chilean beaches are easily accessible and generally have similar characteristics: a small sandy bay of approximately 1 kilometer (.6 mi) of extension limited at both ends by cliffs. This is important for your orientation when in the sea. The bottom of the sea alternates between sand and generally large, round stones. 

Once in the water we will quickly notice a great difference with other coasts: the abundance of seaweed and the variety of sea life. The abundance of fauna is remarkable, even near the coast, which is due to the almost total absence of divers. This amount of fauna living in relatively shallow waters coupled with excellent visibility makes for ideal conditions for marine photography.
